PPBN.TV #113: “Basic is not a option” let’s get creative with James Musselwhite

We sit down with James Musselwhite, one of the UK’s Award winning portrait photographers and a globally recognised name in the world of WrestleMania imagery. Known for his strikingly creative style and next-level client experiences, James pushes far beyond the ordinary.

This conversation is all about intentional portraiture—creating sessions that are designed not just to capture, but to transform. From bespoke, immersive storytelling to simplified, scalable offerings, James shares how he crafts photography experiences with purpose and impact.

We dive into ‘The Takeover Shoot’ a fully immersive bespoke experience that builds a narrative unique to you. It’s an imaginative, collaborative session designed to create showstopping images. It’s the ultimate in client-focused creativity, where lighting, storytelling, and emotion collide.

Plus, if you’ve ever looked at a portrait and wondered, “How did they even light that?”, James breaks it down on his popular YouTube channel, where he releases a weekly behind-the-scenes video packed with practical, no-fluff lighting tutorials.

This is more than a conversation about portraits—it’s a deep dive into what it means to stand out as a photographer today.

There’s a ton to take away—enjoy the ride!
